The aim of this study is to determine the effect of aromatherapy massage on itching, comfort, skin pH level and skin moisture in individuals with liver disease.
Research Hypotheses:
H1: Aromatherapy massage has an effect on the level of itching in individuals with itchy liver disease.
H2: Aromatherapy massage has an effect on the general comfort level in individuals with itchy liver disease, H3: Aromatherapy massage has an effect on skin pH level in individuals with itchy liver disease.
H4: Aromatherapy massage has an effect on skin moisture in individuals with itchy liver disease.
This randomised controlled trial was conducted in order to examine study effect of aromatherapy massage on itching, comfort, skin pH level, and skin moisture among individuals with liver diseases
2,081 studies on the registry are indexed under Liver Diseases; 390 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 36 is below the median of 50 across 1,323 interventional studies indexed under Liver Diseases.
